In need of desperate help...
I have tried to install Red Hat on and off for the last 2 years on my computer and have failed each time... It started with Red Hat 8 onwards right through to Fedora...
I have read through the official installation guide and have even asked Red Hat techincal support, all have failed. I have also tried different installation methods too.
I cannot seem to pin point what the problem is. I cant even get to the GUI stage...
Thus I need help PLEASE... this is the computer I have:
Pentium 4 (2.4 Ghz) (AMI BIOS)
1gb RAM
1 S-ATA hard disk... which windows XP resides on (120Gb)
1 ATA hard disk, which I am trying to get to install Fedora (160Gb)
1 DVD RAM Drive
1 CD/DVD ROM Drive
Standard USB Keyboard
USB Mouse
ATi All-in-Wonder Graphics card (128mb)
LCD monitor (I have tried using the "Linux nofb" option)
Initially I thought the S-ATA would be the problem so I disconnected it and tried installing with just the ATA hard disk, no joy.
During the initial set up stage, all I keep seeing is that Fedora is trying to:
disable IRQ 10,
the it runs through the process again, and keeps repeating this...
the I get the following message:
"hdc: request sense failure: error = 0xb4 {aborted command last failed Sense = 0x0b3"
There are other messages but these scroll right up the screen and I cannot view it...
Then after about 15 minutes of this, the screen goes blank forever !!!
Please please help...
We are moving into the Red Hat world at work next January, and I just wanna get a head start ...
Linear Mode
